I've just booked next summers vacation and I have nearly a month off in July and I want to find North America's best Burger. Starting in Cary NC at my local Five Guys the plan is to head north up the coast and then zig zag the Canada/USA border to the west coast and then down the West Coast and then zig zag back thought the south. I've got a good list going so far but want to find the ones only the locals know about so come on guys let me know where you think the best burger is!

So far I have:

Vera's
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Louis' Lunch
New Haven, Connecticut

White Castle
Wichita, Kansas

All-American Drive-In
Massapequa, New York

Bob's Big Boy
Burbank, California

World Famous Ted's Restaurant
Meridian, Connecticut

Half-Moon Restaurant
Kennett Square, Pennsylvania

The Spot
Hermosa Beach, California

Pop Burger
New York, New York

Old Homestead Steakhouse
New York, New York

Just to get us all in the mode I added a couple photos from a Road Trip through the far North of Canada where we found the Klondike Burger served on a full loaf of bread! That is only half of a burger my buddy is tucking into!

Burger stand at St Jacob's Framers Market in Waterloo, Ontario. This burger is unbelievable! Cooked on the same grill as their 'Back Bacon on a Bun' these Mennonite ladies go it down pat (or Pattie if you will). Next to the apple fritter stand (also very good, the line will be out the door), open Thursday & Saturdays plus Tuesdays in the summer

If you find yourself in Baltimore, MD I've got a spot for you and your stomach. The Hamilton Tavern with it's Crosstown Burger. I seriously recommend going with the both option; sticky bacon and fried egg. http://www.hamiltontavern.com/ :dg

I think I've already hit that one!

Odd fact my Great Grandfather times 3 or 4 was the first Reeve of St Jacobs in the 17 something or others... I don't recall much more then that about my childhood family history lesions but i am actually from Toronto and if you are ever in need (when isn't a guy in need) of a great Burger it's got to be the Burger Shack on the corner of Eglinton and Oriole Park right across from Eglinton Park and Shoeless Joe's.

Burger's, smurgers, it's hot dogs that are the great American road food. And a lost art too. For the best try Rutt's Hutt in Clifton, NJ. On River Road just north of Rt. 3 the first exit off of Rt 21 northbound from 3. Good chili too.
